Xbox Game Pass Core subscribers will get access to a small selection of the games available with the regular/higher tiers of Game Pass, starting with more than 25 games

2 years ago I had to move to a temp place. First evening, I unpacked my PS3 which I hadn’t had time for for a long time. Lots of games on it (and on discs), so I could just sit and play Journey.

Had all my games had been this subscription sort, I’d have nothing.

Now I know you can still buy games - for now, anyway. But since these companies make you pay for multiplayer anyway, it’s an easy upsell for them. Just pay a bit more and you can play so many games… Just pay forever.

    Game Pass is super cheap in my country (RM 15/month ≈ 3.2 USD) and it allows me to play Starfield and Persona 5 Royal without having to pay the full price.

    The combined price of both games is RM 491 which is equivalent to 2.7 years of Game Pass. I haven’t even counted other games I play like Atomic Heart and Forza Horizon 5 so it’s a great deal.

      And I’m sure it will remain so cheap forever and ever, because Microsoft is just so good and generous, and definitely not giving away cheap subscriptions just so that people get used to the idea and become addicted.

        I’ll just unsubscribe when it’s not worth it anymore. No biggie. Cracked games exist.
